SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Emergency crews are on the scene of a fatal collision involving a train and a car in Springfield Township Thursday morning.

The incident occurred at the railroad tracks near Front Street and Holloway Road at approximately 7:15 a.m., according to a press release from the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Michael Malczewski, 38, was traveling southbound on Holloway Road. The gates at the railroad crossing were down, authorities said, and there was a stopped train away from the intersection on the tracks. 

Malczewski drove around the gates when an Amtrack train that was traveling west on the other set of tracks in the intersection struck the vehicle. The train came to a stop west of the intersection, near Wentworth Road, with the car still on the tracks. 

Emergency crews pronounced Malczewski deceased on the scene. According to Amtrak, neither its crew nor customers aboard the train were injured in the crash. Ohio State Highway Patrol reported minor injuries among some of the 163 passengers on board the 13 cars of the Amtrak train, and said none of the crew were injured. 

Springfield Township Fire Department vehicles and other law enforcement agencies were also at the scene. 

An official Amtrak train tracking web page appeared to show the train departed from New York City with the next station on its schedule Bryan, Ohio. 

An Amtrak spokesperson told WTOL 11 that no injuries to its customers or crew were reported. The company said Amtrak officials will be at the scene until the incident is cleared and the first responders finish their work.
